Somewhere, somehow, I got interrupted! I have a pair of size 2 Gap black leathers pants that haunt/taunt me that hang in the closet next to my wedding dress. They’ve been there for 8 years! I no longer fit into the pants, heck, I probably couldn't fit a leg into those pants! I use to do a lot of things eight-nine years ago, before I got married, moved to rural Tennessee and had 2 boys. Not that I don’t love my family, but something happened this weekend that made me think, “How did I get here?” How is it I find myself putting on pink dishwashing gloves to fish out about $2.00 in change out of my toilet? How did it come to this! What happened to that art-loving, fashionista girl I use to be? Is she still here or did she wither away and die? Do I want to be that girl in present day or do I want to be who I am today? I miss that girl! She was fun, had cool clothes, had time to take a shower and could use the potty without having to fish junk out of it that my 3yr tossed in.
Initially I wanted to name this blog Girl Interrupted. However, that was already taken. I thought, well maybe mommy interrupted, but really, this is about how my life as a girl who use to wear size 2 black leathers pants got interrupted by life.
